Defense Fund: Free The Jefferson 1!
April 17, 2008
As most you you already know the Jefferson 1 was charged with “interfering with an agency function” and has a court date set for April 29th and lawyers are expensive. Please take a minute and consider giving to the defense fund. There has been alot of debate, and, thankfully, press coverage, of the event which helps raise awareness, but doesn’t help pay the court cost.
Here is Jason Talley care of NBC4…
Jason says:
One clarification on the following:
“They arrested one woman when they said she would not stop dancing and became resistant.”
The Jefferson 1 stopped dancing when talking to the police, as the video clearly shows. If the U.S. Park Police is the “they” NBC 4 is referring to they are spreading disinformation to cover up their overzealous officers. She simply stood there and asked “why?” we were told to leave. Instead of answering her she was handcuffed and detained for five hours. Our video shows this and when the U.S. Park Service finally releases their surveillance video it will show this also.
